Book description
Now is the Time became an instant bestseller when it was first
published, and it has continued to sell to an increasing and eager
audience who admire and understand Stan's way. In this expanded
edition, which includes five new entries, Stan's message remains the
same: we have the time, if we make the choice to take time ...
Now is the Time is a book for everyone; young or old, male or
female, for the converted or those who are irreligious or plain
disaffected. Even people for whom a spiritual view of the world is a
closed book should try opening this one.
Now is the Time looks beyond the boundaries of any one faith
or church and draws on the great spiritual and philosophical
traditions of east and west. As Sister Stan focuses on a line of
poetry from one of the world's great authors, an idea from a
psychotherapist or philosopher, or a proverb from oriental wisdom, she
weaves her own thoughts around them in a way that presents them
afresh, and allows us to see them from a new perspective.
Widely loved as a committed social activist and tireless worker on
behalf of people in need, Sister Stan reveals an entirely different
side of her nature - the reflective, contemplative and the spiritual -
and offers us an inspiring and thought-provoking work of vision.
